Rosa Phase II power station

Rosa Phase II power station is a 600 megawatt coal-fired power station in Uttar Pradesh which is currently being built by Reliance Power. Rosa Phase II will supplement the Rosa Phase I power station which was commissioned in March 2010.

The company states that half the output of Rosa Stage II will be sold to Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) at a cost plus tariff with the balance to be sold through Reliance Energy Trading Limited. Reliance Power states that the project is scheduled to be completed in 2012.

The company states that "the coal will be supplied from the Ashoka Coal mines of Central Coalfields Limited (CCL), a subsidiary of Coal India Limited (CIL). The coal mines are located in Jharkhand and the coal will be transported by Railways over a distance of 870 kms." Water for the power station "will be sourced from Garrah river located a kilometer from the project."
